Summary of A Town Like Alice: Special Edition [Region 2]
[NON-U.S. FORMAT (PAL) Region 2 U.K. Import - This will not play on U.S./Canada DVD players or those from most other countries outside of Europe. You would need a "multi-region" or "region-free" PAL compatible DVD player or computer.] REVIEW: Although made in 1956, A Town Like Alice has remained enduringly effective and affecting. Based on Nevil Shute's novel, the story revolves around a romance set against the unlikely backdrop of a forced march through the jungles of Malaysia by British prisoners - mostly women and children - captured by the invading forces of Japan. The title is a reference to the homesick yearnings of Australian soldier Joe Harman, played by Peter Finch. He forms a bond with one of the female prisoners, Jean Paget (Virginia McKenna), and their travails are depicted with a remarkable subtlety and commendable lack of corniness. It's a minor classic. DVD FEATURES: The black-and-white picture is presented in 4:3 format, with English subtitles if required. Extra features include a 25-minute "making of" documentary, a collection of behind-the-scenes photographs, potted biographies of the cast and crew, and the original trailer.Similar DVD Movies
